Still hard to believe that there are videos and witnesses to someone shooting a woman in the face three times. Yet the shooter has not been arrested even though the police know who and where he is.

It's bizarre that some politicians are trying to behave as if the US president were sane, or capable of reason or moral judgement.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

There’s too much time between now and the midterms. Either the military needs to not follow his illegal, unconstitutional, international law violating actions OR Congress needs to STOP him.We are at a breaking point.

Grocery prices are still going up for American families.

And there is nothing in Venezuela or Greenland that is going to change that.

How about focusing closer to home?

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

All of this going down during the 250th anniversary year of America is a degree of cringey writing that would be roundly mocked were it a novel published in an alternative timeline.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.

Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.
